I like the simple yet elegant beauty these Victorian houses have, makes me want to live in one. Smiley
.
They don't look huge though. Not like the mansions I picture myself living in sometimes. Grin. But I can live in a small house as well. Just as long as it is clean ( I soooo cannot stand dirty environment Tongue ),and peaceful.

This picture reminds me of something childish, like cartoons. But I still like it.

If people are good only because they fear punishment and expect reward, then they are a sorry lot indeed.

Great spirits tend to encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity, opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.

In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all, be a sheep oneself.

Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure.

Some people cause happiness wherever they go and some others, whenever they go.

If you have nothing to say, abstain from giving wordy evidence of that fact.

I have had the opportunity of reading a number of diaries both online and off. Whenever I read them, I also visualize them. In my mind's eye, I see the scenes they describe and I dream up faces for them, if they happen to be people I have never met. I even see the expressions on those made up faces when they describe how they felt with the words they write down. The scenes I conjure in my imagination are either exactly the same as the ones I have been to in reality, or with modifications which are based on the information the writer provides. As for the faces, I see just about any face which I think would match the mood of the writer. Unlike the scenes, the faces are hardly ever familiar ones.
Then there is the mood of the writer. The feelings I get whenever I read different people is different. When I read the writing of a genuine person, I always picture a calm environment, there is a sort of peace that comes from reading them. One can almost hear them having those thoughts in their heads.
Its different for people that do not write from their hearts.
I always picture a type of distraction in whatever scene I visualize their writing, it might be some distracting sound coming from the background of the scene, or a false, forced facial expression or body movement. . . . . .
I guess all this comes from my being an intuitive person. I tend to feel what other people feel a lot, both their good and their bad feelings. It also comes from having good imagination. . .a strong imagination. Another reason might be the psychic abilities. All in all, I find genuine communication with people, a welcome change. Even if it only involves listening while their hearts speak. Probably the reason I read people's journals at all.

I don't have a favourite food. Or a favourite colour. Infact I don't have favourites in a lot of things, but I still prefer somethings over others. Like blue, white and black. I prefer them to all the other colours. Blue, because it has a calming effect on whoever looks at it, white, because it symbolizes purity, and black, because it goes with whatever I wear; It matches every other colour.
As for food, I prefer heavily spiced food over others. Can't really stand eating saltless meat or soup or any other food that is supposed to contain spice, but doesn't. My moods change so frequently. Today I want this, tomorrow, that, and the day after tomorrow, those. Me sef. . . .
Before I forget, sleeping pattern has improved. I still wake up at night, but it's better than before, I only wake once during the night. And that is it. Whopeee.
Now to the real reason why I opened this thread.
It's about the ASUU strike. Most of the Lecturers sitting their lazy behinds at home expecting 109% increase (109%!!!) do not even deserve the salary they were receiving before the strike began. Those ones hardly even carried out the job they were employed to do in the first place. Among those who are on strike are the sick old men who are bored with their wives at home and then decide to take advantage of the innocent, who they are supposed to be training, in order to satisfy their sexual desires, also, the lecturers who dictate their hand-outs to students as the course work for the semester and then tells the students to buy the same hand-outs or fail the course, then the ones who outrightly demand bribes from students before they give pass marks to them and the finally the ones who show up in class less than half the number of times they are supposed to in a semester--oh, and also included are lecturers who cannot deliver a decent lecture to save their lives; they are probably there, simply because they graduated with a first class degree. All of these, all, along with the good ones, are on strike because ASUU declared that they are not getting paid enough.
Sigh.
What I think the Government should do is instead of just signing an approval of a universal salary increment, is that it should set up a body or organization to monitor and access the work the lecturers carry out and decide, from the result of the accessment, what each lecturer should be receiving as his salary. But such a thing is impossible in a country like Nigeria, what with the corruption everywhere, the Government would simply sign the agreement and then go and continue living their lives with next to complete indifference about what goes on in the Universities. Or maybe if the monitoring/accessment body is set up, it would be practically useless, since it would be filled with greedy officials who would rate even the worst lecturers highly, provided their hands were oiled well enough.
So as it is now, ASUU is still on strike, demanding its ridiculous 109% increase, which I don't think the FG would agree to, and leaving students at home, wasting precious time.
Nigeria. When will all this end?

To sit near the window in a bus and feel the wind on my face.
To just stare out of it and dream/get lost in thought. I used to do it before. I liked it. I disliked sitting anywhere in the bus that wasn't the window seat.
How weak humans are.
And how shallow.
In need. Always in need of one thing or another.
Love, compassion, status, beauty, wealth, power, ease in life, attention, food, clothing, decent housing, respect. . . .and all that. They want, or they need. Or desire. For themselves.
So quick to take to pride. So hungry for superiority over people.
It's sickening to see sometimes. And they are so weak inside.
Why do we hardly ever desire those good things for other people as much as we desire them for ourselves?
All the greed and callousness. And self-centerdness.
This earth which has the potential of being a paradise, has been turned into hell.
In our pride, we have made it so.
